<p>As of version 1.00, this module no longer requires a perl patch.</p>chocolateboy2006-02-12T09:56:10blazarhttp://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/autobox#1185
<p>Rating: 5 stars</p><p>I must say I've not used much this module in actual &quot;production code&quot;, especially since it requires a patch to the sources, but it is real fun to play with. Also, it's totally non-invasive. I wish it could make its way into a next major release...</p>blazar2004-10-21T03:41:14Tassilo v. Parsevalhttp://cpanratings.perl.org/dist/autobox#165
<p>Rating: 5 stars</p><p>This module is really a little revolution to Perl5 and has been heatedly discussed as such among the perl5-porters. It lets you treat everything as an object and thus makes Perl5 look very much like Ruby (or rather any language in which primitive types are objects).
<br><br>The only drawback is that you need perl-5.8.1RC4 and to apply the enclosed patch against the source-tree. So essentially you have to compile your own Perl.
<br><br>However, I haven't had so much fun with Perl for a long time. Once it makes it into the core (Perl5.10 is a candidate) a whole new branch of modules will probably make it to the CPAN.</p>Tassilo v. Parseval2003-08-19T00:36:13
